How the formula works

Series: R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ...
  • Series Circuit: R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ... (add all resistors)
  • Parallel Circuit: 1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ... (reciprocal sum)
  • Enter resistor values in ohms (Ω)
  • Values of 0 are ignored in calculations
  • Add up to 10 resistors using the "Add Resistor" button
  • Remove resistors using the ✕ button on each row
